Sling is one of the best live TV streaming services on the market for essential networks, making it a good option for anyone who wants a cheaper alternative to cable without compromising channel selection. The service has two main packages with over 30 channels each, starting at $46 monthly. You can combine them or get add-ons to access extra channels.

Though Sling offers fewer channels in its base package, the service is less expensive than competitors like DirecTV Stream ($87/month), Hulu + Live TV ($82/month), and Fubo ($80/month). You can access the Sling TV app on iOS and Android devices, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and many of the best TVs from popular brands.

Below, we've detailed all the ins and outs of Sling's different channel offerings so you can decide which plan is best for your needs. It's important to note that channel lineups are always subject to change on live TV streaming services, especially when it comes to local networks, so you should check the final details on any service's website before subscribing.

What channels are included with Sling Orange and Sling Blue?

Sling's two main offerings are Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Channels largely overlap between the two plans, but there are a few differences that might push you to choose one over the other.

Sling Orange has 35 channels, including several Disney and ESPN networks you won't find on Sling Blue. Meanwhile, Sling Blue makes up for its lack of Disney and ESPN with up to 46 channels, including a collection of Fox-owned and NBC-owned networks like USA and Bravo. Blue also comes with local NBC, Fox, and ABC networks, but only in select markets, so some regions might just have access to 42 channels.

Each plan is available to stream for a starting price of $46 a month, or you can combine the two for a starting price of $61 a month, giving you access to up to 49 channels. Sling Blue sometimes costs an extra $5 per month depending on your location and access to local channels. Sling also has genre-based add-ons starting at $6 a month. Each add-on offers a mini-bundle of related channels. There are also several premium add-ons, including Paramount Plus with Showtime ($10/month) and Starz ($11/month).

Sling doesn't offer a free trial right now, but they have a separate ad-supported "Freestream" service and frequent deals for new members. You may want to compare these deals and services with other platforms that show free movies online. Some Sling add-ons, like the Spanish-language option, allow you to try them free for seven days.

See below for a full breakdown of Sling's offerings and add-ons. If you still can't tell which plan might be right for you, you can consult our Sling Orange vs. Blue guide for a detailed comparison of the two services.
